How are the columns saperated in the text file? You may try below logic to add text file data to data table.

Assuming columns are spareated by comma
Create a datatable with 3 columns.
string readText = File.ReadAllLines(“yourfile.txt”);
foreach(item in readText)
{
If (item<> string.empty)
{
Splititem= Split.string(item,“,”)
add data row activity here and in Array row property add below line and datatable variable in datatable

{Splititem(0),Splititem(1),Splititem(2)}

}

}

Now load the datatable into Writerange property.

Typing from mobile so can’t attach code.Hope it helps.

Thanks for the quick turnaround . I already did most of the parts as you suggested but my code works well if i use array row : for example {item}. Since i am using single {item} it goes in to single column inside excel. I figured out data row is the best choice here but stuck on the syntax . Can you please share the sample . Thanks .

Sorry I don’t have access to laptop, I will try to send tomorrow.i see @acaciomelo is online may be he can help.

Why don’t you try below piece of code in the meanwhile.

Split.string(item," ")

add data row activity here and in Array row property add below line and datatable variable in datatable

{item(0),item(1),item(2)}

I tried below options but i am doing some thing wrong still all three columns are going in to single excel column :
add data row activity here and in Array row property add below line and datatable variable in datatable

{item(0),item(1),item(2)}

@SKE Attached is the rudimentary logic and you can tweak it as per your requirement. Let me know if you have questions.
